Two Moons

There are two moons in the sky. OMG, I must be seeing double. This happen when I was in the kitchen bending over to clear my rubbish bin and I happen to look up and saw two moons. I thought I need to see an eye specialist but when I stand near my window, I only see one moon. So I bend down again and there are the two moons again....lol

It is actually a reflection of the moon on my window. As it was very dark, the frame of my window could not be seen. The one on the right is a reflection of the moon while on the left is the real moon. :)

    Neat pic, you could probably convince a few people that you saw two.

    I went down to see the posts I had missed, the ducktour is very impressive, you must have had a lot of fun on that tour. Have a nice wonderful week end.

    I had a similar experience with glass reflections. I took a picture of my cat on a windowsill at night, and when I got the photo developed, a second all black cat was sitting beside him looking straight into the camera. Our all-black cat had been dead for several months, and this reflection looked exactly like him!!!! It was so spooky at first, but then we came to love the photo.

    Squirrel, I am sorry about your cat. But your story is spooky and I am having goosebumps. Is your picture in your blog? Can you give me the link?

    Maybe we should have a discussion post on who had seen ghost...hahaha...scary eh!

    Alice--this pic was taken in the days when film was taken out to be developed--it's in an album somewhere (I am one of those people who takes so many pictures I have crates of albums) I think I know where it is and will look.

    I wouldn't mind having two moons. At least the nights would be brighter. And of course, it will give us another reason to stare at the sky at night.
